Hey guys, this will be my first post. Been lurking around the forums for far too long. I have been playing warhammer 40k since early third edition, but this will be my first army built from the ground up for 5th. I play with a decent sized group of friends, and can be expecting any army, though meq seems to be popular(as awlays). So just let me know what sucks and what doesnt about my list, I wont take offense.

I intend to drop pod the librarian with the sternguard, as kind of a necron-lord esque shooty unit of doom. The dreadnought will be set up front, and the thinos will provide and armored screen for the vindicator as long as possible until they break off to the objectives with their angry cargo.
Fitting in with the relictors fluff I will be exchanging some close combat weapons with chaos/daemon counterparts, on the sergeants and such. I only have the troops as far as models go, but I will be filling out the army as finances permit
